    Here is a review from GlobalBeatFusion.com of the album:
    "
    If the world can’t go to Brooklyn, the borough covers the world on
    Endangered Species (Wonderwheel, Sept 5). Six years deep in his infamous
    Turntables on the Hudson parties, DJ/producer Nickodemus applies the
    gritty earth tones of pavement and industry to an uplifting landscape of
    African, Latin, Balkan and Arabic vibes. The key is the warm bass tones
    he summons from the depths of his digital soul, adding layer upon layer
    of sonic depth. Si*Se’s Carol C. appears on the now-classic "Cleopatra
    in New York" while local hip-hoppers Real Live Show cut it raw with
    "Funky in the Middle." Radio Mundial vocalist Jean Shepherd helps Nick
    pass the "Peace Pipe," backed by his magnificent cuatro playing, and the
    album closes with a gorgeous vocal performance by Andrea Monteiro on the
    wide-eyed "Mystery of Life." The 8-minute Balkan-inspired "Crazy
    Stranger" takes a deadly percussive loop and knots it around, up and
    down and inside you, the place where Nickodemus dwells most.
